Patent CA-2370418-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SORSA TIMO
IPC: G01N33/577
Filed: 2000-04-19
Abstract: The present invention is related to diagnostic methods and test kits for physicians and veterinarians to enable an easy and rapid diagnosis of the level and severity of respiratory tract inflammation without elaborate laboratory facilities and qualified laboratory personnel. The method and tes t kits are based on a unbiased evaluation of the amount matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and/or related molecules (MMP-RMs) in respiratory secretion samples. An increased amount of MMPs in respiratory fluid as compared with the amount found in healthy persons is a reliable indication o f the level, severity and/or tissue destructive active phase(s) of inflammatio n in respiratory tracts and also enables targeting of medical treatment as wel l as prediction of the risks for complication in connection with infections, inflammation as well as environmental and physical stress factors, e.g. for athletes participating in sporting events. A lot of money is also involved f or example in racing businesses, wherein it is important for the veterinarian working in field conditions to be able to decide whether a horse can participate in a race or not.

Title: Bending device for the working rolls of a hot-rolling frame
Inventor: MULLER HEINZ-ADOLF
IPC: B21B29/00
Filed: 2000-05-06
Abstract: The invention relates to a bending device for the working rolls of a hot-rolling frame, comprising hydraulic piston cylinder units which transmit bending forces to the chucks of the working rolls, using guide elements. The invention aims to improve a bending device of this type, in such a way that the actuating forces which are to be generated are produced by a piston cylinder unit with dimensions small enough to be easily mounted into blocks which are to be provided in the windows of the frame, whilst retaining a free choice of the bearings for the support rolls. This is achieved by a double-action hydraulic piston cylinder unit (4, 5), provided for each block, whose two ends are connected to the guide elements (12, 13). Said guide elements (12, 13) encompass the free ends of the catches (20, 21) of the working-roll chucks (18, 19) on both sides by an axial displacement of the guide grooves (22, 23) which accommodate the working rolls (16, 17).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé visant à réduire l'encrassement d'équipements de traitement de flux de pétrole. On réduit l'encrassement en réduisant la présence de peroxydes et d'hydroperoxydes dans le flux. Le procédé consiste à mélanger le flux à une phase aqueuse contenant une base et un catalyseur de transfert de phase. La base réagit avec les peroxydes et les hydroperoxydes. On peut alors traiter davantage la phase huileuse, entraînant un encrassement minimal de l'équipement. La phase aqueuse est recyclée en vue d'une réaction avec un nouveau flux de pétrole.

Title: A method for categorizing pivot points in technical analysis
Inventor: SATCHWELL CHRISTOPHER J
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2002-09-17
Abstract: A method and product for identifying and categorizing pivot points in a time series, such as a time series of financial data (e.g. stock prices) or medical data (e.g. ECG, EEG). The method permits categorization of pivot points in a time series according to their spatial importance and temporal occurrence. The time series has a predetermined end point, predetermined maximum and minimum box sizes, and a predetermined box size increment. The method consists of determining a breakout direction for the time series.  Then, for each incremental box size from the maximum to the minimum, pivot points are identified. Commencing at the end point and working backwards through the time series, any point where a reversal of more than the current box size occurs is identified. For each such identified point, the previous extreme, its associated lag from the end point, and the box size at which it is first identified is then recorded.
